Hello Bob, Jobi, Ingo:
Yes, I am Murdock. I tried the Spawn name there and it got kicked back. Oh Well. Ingo, I'm glad you shared those picks of your gono cage. It's a great set up. The way it is built surely holds the humidity which I think is key to success with these guys. I have seen other set ups of yours during past conversations and I always enjoy them.
Jobi brings up a point that though it is not my first choice for housing does have one advantage; the food cannot help but be seen by the animal. When I first got my flying Dragons (genus Draco)I put them in an opaque sweater box tilted up at one end (just slightly). The reason i did that was they looked real dehydrated and somewhat litless. i sprayed them and they went to town drinking water. In fact, to this day I don't think i've ever seen more consistently thirsty lizards. After they drank for nearly a half an hour I threw week old crickets in with them and they went crazy, snapping them up. After that I put them in their permanent terrariums and had very few problems with them so it may work if you can't get them to eat. I think they'll eat very soon and once they start they'll take off. As usual keep us posted.
Everybody Have a Great Day!!!
